JUDGE CERTAIN TO HAND RUTH STIFF PENALTY After That Then Rule Will Be Changed, According to Baseball Dopesters. AN AWKWARD SITUATION By JACK VEIOCK. NEW TORK, Oct 18.—The rule against barnstorming by world's series players, which caused a wide breach between Commissioner Landis and Babe Ruth, either will be abolished or amended, according to'the belief expressed In local baseball circles today, and it is expected that action will be taken during the next Joint meeting of the major leagues this winter. Land's has indicated he means to mete out punishment to Ruth and his fellow players on the Yankees and It is expected the promised action soon will be forthcoming. Just what form this punishment will take or how severe It will be is the question interesting baseballdom. On this point opinion varies all the way from a heavy fine and a month's suspension to suspension so. a year. The magnates, for the most part, it is understood, are willing that the rules which Ruth violated should be done away with or amended, or anew rule placed on the statute books, prohibiting barnstorming players to use the name of a major league club. In Ruth's case there has been no violation of the principle on which the rule was founded, for his team is known as Ruth's All-Stars. Colonels Huppert and Huston, owners of the Yanks, are on record today to the effect that Judge Landis has no alternative but to enforce the rules. TO HAVE OWN TEAM IF BARRED JAMESTOWN, N. Y.. Oct. 18.—Babe Ruth declared today he would continue to play baseball next year even If Judge Landis barred him from the major leagues. Ruth indicated that he would organize his own independent team and engage in exhibition games all over the country. When Informed that Judge Landis, high commissioner of baseball, might suspend bim from the league for a year because he is playing exhibition games now in violation of the rules. Ruth said: “I will continue to play baseball next year, that's a cinch. If I organize my own team, Yvwever, it won t be a team of outlaws. By"' that I mean players who have been thrown out of the game for gambling and things like that. I won’t have anything to do with those former Chicago White Sox players who were mixed up in that world series scandal. But my team would be formed of g;ood, clean fellows, players who are straight, but who have jumped from the American League." Ruth declared he would go right ahead with his present barnstorming trip Until '• Nov. 1. "I am acting for the best interests of all players in this,” he said. "The rule prohibiting world series players from f;oing on exhibition tours is unfair and t ought to be changed." Asked about his physical condition, the home run slugger said: “I feel a lot better. The stiffness has r;one out of my leg and my injured arm s improved rapidly.” If Ruth decides to organize a barnstorming team next season he probably will tour the far West and the coast, where fans have not had an opportunity to see him in action, later returning East for exhibition games.

Butler Quarter ■ Pa Jga $ .JrjM V PACL BROWN. One of the first of last year's Butler veterans to report to Coach Page this fail was Paul Brown, quarter back, whose picture appears above. Brown played at quarter last year until late in the season when he suffered a broken leg. He reported this year in great condition, however, and was ready to begin where he left off last year. Brown is not the flashy type of quarter back and seldom carries the ball, but has a cool head at all times; knows the game thoroughly and is a great field general. He will call signals next Saturday when Butler plays Earlham at Irwin field. Wabash Back From ( Big Leagues' to Get in Trim for Butler Eastern Critics Little Hazy in Geography, but They Praise Team’s Effort. C RAW FO RD S VIL LE, Ind.. Oct. 18.— Back from their Jaunt into the "big ; leagues” of Eastern football, the Little | Giants of Wabash College have started a hard practice drive for the big clash with the fleet-footed Pagemeu of Butler College, Friday, Oct. 28. at Irwin field, Indianapolis. At the rate Butler has piling up f >oints, it looks as though Wabash Is gong to get plenty of opposition when it marches on Irvington and for that rca- I son Coach Vaughan has let It be known that he means to keep his warriors hit- j ting up a fast practice pace. Wabash ; knows that Butler's chief desire this season is to beat the Little Giants and the Scarlet gridders do not Intend to hacaught napping. The Invasion of West Point last week resulted In a defeat, but dtie to the fact that Wabash held the Army heavyweights scoreless In three of the four periods the Little Giants won much praiSe In Eastern papers. The Army team is a savage outfit of veterans recruited from everywhere and they became more savage than ever as the first two periods went by and they were still scoreless. The Army line averaged more than 200 pounds, but it was a surprised forward wall when the Wabash line met their onslaughts without winclug. The "batting rally" staged by the Cadets In the third period was Just ona of "those things" and before the Little Giants could remoblUze their defense the Army had put over sufficient scores to win. However, the Wabashers were right i there again In the fourth period and fought the beavywerights to a standstill. The Army team Is made up in some positions of players who starred on other big teams previously and naturally the soldiers are well posted on every trick of football. That is why they are so savage—they know a lot of stuff and know how to get away with it under cover. Mulligan, tackle, one of the Army stars In the Wabash game, formerly starred at Columbia University; Garbisch, guard, last year was the captain of the strong Washington and Jefferson team and ! Wood, half back learned his Rttiff as a i star at Johns Hopkins. With all this ' experienced outfit, however, the Army j failed to shock the Little Giants In three i periods out of the four. It was a great trip for the Scarlet war- ! riors and they did not mind the bruises of the game. They got to see West Point, the famous Hudson, New York City, Buffalo and Niagara Falls and other points of interest. A Wabash team had never been East before and the Saturday's game proved of benefit to the college, for the reports of the Wabash-Army game were carried in the headlines of many big Eastern papers. The defense and hardfighting of the team was complimented and the kicking of Singleton was praised. Eastern critics thought, however, that Singleton took up a little too much time in getting his punts away. The work of Kessler, Aul, Milstead and Logan In the line also drew some kind remnrks. Some of the Eastern sport writers were a little hazy on the looattVn of the college. They got CrawfordsvHle, Ind., all right, but one critic referred to the team as "a hard fighting vermilion Jerseyled team from the little college on the banks of the Wabash." Well, vermilion was fair enough; Just so he didn’t desclbe the Scarlet color as violet, and as for Sugar Creek everybody knows that Sugar Creek won't object to being classed as the Wabash river. ROCKNE IMPROVES OFFENSE NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct. 18—Reports regarding the strength of Nebraska have aroused Notre Dame into action, aud Coach Rockne devoted his attention Monday to improving the offense, which was sluggish at Purdue. Nebraska is credited with a well balanced attack, and backs Its plays with an average weight of 190 pounds. Notre Dame will stack an average of ISO against the Cornhuskers Saturday, and Rockne is preparing to combat the beef with brains. The game will mark the second annual homecoming celebration at Notre Dame and more than 15,000 are expected. NEW COACH AT ILLINOIS. t'RBANA, lU., Oct. 18.—Frank McCormick. former coach at the University of South Dakota, has been added to the teaching staff at the University of Illinois coaching school. He will have charge of some of the classes in footbalL Tribe Baseball Romance Hank Schrelber.

A bas'iball romance extending oyer a year culminated yesterday in Louisville and the Tribe inflelder Is no longer a member of the single bliss brigade of Jack Hendricks’ athletes. The Mrs. Henry Schrelber formerly was Miss Nellie Noon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Noon, Woodland drive, this city. The couple were accompanied to Louisville by Mr. and Mrs. Jess Petty, Petty teing one of Schreiber’s teammates. Schreiber will remain here for the final game between the AM Stars and the A.

COLONELS TOP CHESTY BALTOS Louisville Proves Right to Title of the Big Minor Leagues. HOW THEY FINISHED. Won. Lost. Pet. Louisville 5 3 .635 Baltimore S 5 -375 BALTIMORE, Oct. 18.—Louisville won the post-season junior title series from Baltimore, five games to three, by its victory yesterday over the International League champions. The Orioles reigned 5 to 2 favorites at the start of the series, but throughout the contests have been outplayed in every department of the game by the American Association leaders. The Kentuckians won In spite of a wobbly pitching staff and took the deciding games in the home of the enemy in face of very bad umpiring and the unmerciful razzing of hostile fans. All In all the downfall of the noted Baltimore club, which rau away with the International League flag, was a distinct surprise and in accomplishing the feat the Colonels showed the East that there is some baseball in the Middle West. The series was sweet revenge for the defeat of St. Paul last year and a Justification of the claim that the Americsn Association is faster than the International. The better club won in spite of the fact that the Orioles boast of seven players for which big league clubs offer an aggregate of $300,000. The victory Is especially sweet because of the chesty attitude of Jack Itunn’s club and the rabid rooters of the Oyster City. The staff of pitchers that terrorized every club In the International circuit had no terrors for the Colonel sluggers and Jack Odgen was the only twirler who could win a game for the Easterners. He won every game he pitched until his final efort yesterday and then with the series hanging on his ability to turn back McCarthy s men he was knocked out of the box by the savage attack of the A. A. pennant winners. Jay Ivlrke put the finishing touches to Ogden’s downfall by soaking a horn* run over tho left field wall. It was an -twful come-down for the pitcher who won 2 games this season and It was a terrible blow to the club behind him. In the deciding game yesterday Sanders pitched shut-out ball until the sixth inning. Then with the Kentucky outfit leading by the top-heavy count of 11 to 0 Roy was hit on the ptichlng hand by a drive through the box. He was undecided for a time whether he would go on, but finally decided to stick it out. Two runs filtered across the rubber in tbis inning In the eighth Sanders allowed two sin gles, a triple and a walk which were good for the last three runs of the Orioles. That wus all for the great and only Baltimore club and the Colonels with their big lead and (he series victory in sight had their big moment and laughed at the efforts of the men of Dunn. Louisville Bcored its huge total of 11 by prolonged and steady mauling of the pill. Fifteen hits were collected during ' the day including a home run by Jay Kirke who all through the series far over shadowed the work of his rival Jake Bentley. Acosta cracked out a solid triple and Herzog and Shepner banged two baggers. The Colonels are going home a tickled ball team. Much bad blood has existed during the series because of various circumstances that have arisen and the members of the club feel pretty good over the fact that they went into the foe’s own back yard with the games standing even and took three Mt or four contests played In order to wear the crown of the minor leagues. It was Indeed a triumph for Louisville and its manager Joe McCarthy as well ns a vindication of the claim < f the West that the Association is stronger than the International League. Y'oung Has Low Score in Highland Golf Play Final results In the one-dav tournament over the new Highland club course have been announced by the committee In charge.

AROUND THE BIG TEN
REBUIDILNG PURDUE TEAM. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 18. —Purdue’s disastrous game with Notre Dame Saturday has led to what promises to be a complete shake-up of the varsity eleven. Conch Dietz took the squad In hand Monday and gave the men a hard work-out. Searchlights were used in order that the players might be kept at work after dark. The coach told his men they played miserable football, and that they must either show thmselves capatle of something better or get off the squad. Purdue will have two weeks in which to prepare for lowa, and the time will be utilized in reconstructing the eleven. I. IT. WORKB ON GOPHER FLU'S. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 18.—Instruction on Minnesota's offensive plays occupied the atentlon of the Indiana squad yesterday. Coach Jumbo Stlehm, who saw the Minnesota-Ohio State fracas Saturday, came back with a wholesome respect for the strength of the Gophers. Indiana’s two star ends, Bunny and Donovan, are handicapped by injuries. Hunny is suffering from the frac tured shoulder received In the Harvard game and Donovan hag a bad "charley kiorse." Twenty-six players, the coaches and the trainers will leave Thursday for Minnesota. OHIO SHOWS ‘‘PEPPER.’’ COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 18.—Coming through the Minnesota game with but few casualties, Ohio State spent yesterday afternoon in a short signal drill and a still shorter scrimmage. Few plays were tried, most emphasis being placed on the plays which had not worked smoothly in Saturday's game. The aggressive spirit of the contest with Minnesota was again seen in the way the team snapped into alt of the work-out. Blair, who was declared bv the doctors to lie out until the last of the season, with his wrenched leg. appeared in a suit. It is unlikely, however, that he will play much of the Michigan game on Saturday. Cott ran the team most of the time, and Stuart did the passing, due to a sore arm which Work man received In the Minnesota game. Stuart spent an hour punting. Roy Fife, half back on the 1918 team, and since then not enrolled In the universitv, wag out In uniform. Rife and Harry Work-
CHAMI’ION 18 CHALLENGER. I CHICAGO, Oct. IS.—For tho holder of ! a world's championship to suddenly turn j challenger aud ,urge his competitors to ! take a whirl at the title may be con- j sldered somewhat unusual in sport ciri cles, but that is what Stanislaus Zbyszko, ! heavyweight wrestling champion of the ' world, intends to do Zbyszko sailed lart week from Rotterdam and is due to ar- ! rive in New York this week lo take up his work where he dropped it recently owing to the serious illness of his mother. Now In his forty second year, the chain pion wants to retire In a year or so—- | two years at the outside—and take his title with him. Zbyszko himself believes he is unbeatable, and does not hesitate ,to say so. But wheu he leaves the ring forever he wants no cloud on his title, and that is why he has turned “ohal- j longer.” Jack Herman of Chicago, under whose | management the veteran Pole made the most spectacular “cotnebnek" in wrestling history and achieved the world's chain j pionshlp at an age when most athletes are in the honeyard, is notifying every heavyweight wrestler not biready decisively defeated by Zbyszko that the champion now stands ready to sign articles for a finish match under any reasonable conditions. Herman Btates any conditions that are fair will be ucceptaable. CAKPKNTIER TO RETURN. NEW YORK. Oct. 18—Tex lilckard received a letter Monday afternoon from Georges Carpeutit-r. In which the French champion announced he had started light j traluiug for his bout with George Cook of Australia in London on Dec. 2. The Frenchman declared his right hand, injured lu the bout with Jack ! Dempsey at Jersey City last July, was fully recovered Incidentally Georges in- ! formed Rickard that immediately following the bout with Cook he would repair j to France and make all arrangements for returning to his country early in Jauu- I ary. Rickard also received word from Charles Lucu, manager of George Cook. In which he asks thut Kb-kurd provide him with some matches ac event that he wins or gets a draw with Carpentier. j HUGHES* SETTLES OLD SCORE. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Bobby Hughes, j New Orleans Southern bantam champion, I defeated "Indian” Russell. Harrisburg, Pa in a fast fifteen-round bout here last nlgnt. Both weighed In at 112, tho fly- ; weight limit. Hughes scored two knock- i downs and carried every round. The Judges' decision settles an old score between these two contenders for the flyweight title. JESS DANGEROUS, SAYS JACK. CHICAGO, Oct. IS. —Jack Dempsey. ! cornered Monday about his proposed j second meeting with Jess Wilard, frowned j a trifle and then said some laudatory I words about tho tallest sunflower Kansas evor saw. "Willard, In shape, will be a danger- ; on* man becauae or his size. I know ho I will not fight me again 'unloss he gets j in shape. That’s a cinch.

Usher, Bank, Wilson, and Kirk are on the injured list, and, with the possible exception of Kirk, none Is expected to be in shape for the Buckeye game. The injuries were received in Saturday's game. Roby, Captain Dunne, and Steketee are not In good shape, and Coach Yost will be forced to employ many substitutes against the Buckeyes. Yost announced upon his return from the Ohio State, that the Buckeyes have one of the strongest teams In years, and Michigan’s chances have been dealt a severe blow by the loss of so many regulars. Yost said Michigan could hardly be expected to win Saturday with so many men on the hospital list. ZUPPKE PICKS UP REMNANTS. URBANA, 111., Oot. 18.—Bob Zuppke went to work to rally the broken Illinl for the battle against Wisconsin Saturuay The little coach gave Indications of radical changes In the lineup. A1 Mohr went back to guard, although he will be called upon to punt. Bauer Is a likely bet to replace Reichlo at the other guard berth. Bauer, a late entry against lowa, showed well eno'ugh to win him a permanent Job if he can keep up the gait. Woodward and Dawson will probably be the new right half hacks, and Don Peden will be left half If he is well enough. Jock Crangle will lay off all week. ANOTHER MINNESOTA “SHIFT.” MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Oct. IS -It will be a different Minnesota football team that trots onto Northrop field Saturday from the one that went down to defeat at Ohio State. The Gopher coach yesterday started a number of changes in his line-up. He moved Gilsadt from full hack to right end, and shot Cole, a substitute, to left end. McCreary, a good line plunger, was back at his old position at full. Earl Martineau was given a rest and Olion filled In. McLaury, because of his showing In the Ohio game, is expected to replace Olson In the coming Indiana struggle. It is possible the conch will revamp his entire eleven In an effort to get It hack Into a winning stride.

"I surely Intend to start Dempsey again next July 4 aud Promoter Tex Rickard Is Inclined to favor Willard as our foe.

ARMY AND Y ALE IN BIG CLASH Old Eli Hated Favorite in East Feature Game Saturday. NEW YORK. Oct. 18—The third big test of football’s Big Three comes Saturday next, when Tad Jones' Yale eleven, its goal line as yet uncrossed, meets the husky Army team. Princeton, which looked to be the best of. the Big Three, met its match and more last week when the Navy walked over the Tigers. 13 to 0, and Harvard has already felt the sting of a wild rebel yell, as Georgia's lighter eleven pierced her defense and scored. Only old Eli's scoje sheet remains inviolate and Jones is driving his charges hard this week to see that they keep it that way through Saturday’s hard game. Unless the Army braces considerably and improves over its showing of Saturday against Wabash. Yale should win. The Yale team this year has shown better form and sounder football than It has displayed at this time of year for a deed * it v.asut the victory over Williams that sent Eli supporters home talking of a "Yale year at last.” It was the stiff defense and rudimental football which the Blue line and back field showed when threatened. Just what is going to develop East or West, to wallop that Navy eleven remains one of the 1921 puzzles. Bob Folwell’s Middles were back at work today, showing no ill effects from the hard Princeton game. TIGERS EXPECT HARD CONTEST PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 18.—Princeton's football team began Intensive prac--1 tlce for the Chicago game Monday, with a work-out harder than the usual Monday program. Not a single injury was received in tho Navy game and the entire squad was in uniform. Don Lourie. Hank Garrity and Whoops Snively were on the field, but did little real work. It is not known whelher these three will be able to play against the Maroons, but the battle with the Middies showed that they are badly needed. Laurie's heady play at quartey back and his wonderful open field running have for two years been features of the Tigers’ game, and his absence has only helped to emphasize his services. The Peru (lU.) boy was in civilian clothes on the side lines at Annapolis Saturday. Old Nassau is expecting a terrific contest with the Western eleven, and tho defeat at the hands of Annapolis had only made the incentive strouger. "While I regret more than I can express, the Navy victory on Saturday." said Head Coach Bill Roper, "It will prove a blessing in disguise. The Middles clearly outplayed Princeton and deserved to win. But don't think we are downhearted and discouraged. We have a fighting team and will recover from the set back. Chicago Is going to be tuet Saturday and they have a good team, a team that will pttt up a pood game. It will be a different Princeton team that faces them." FRIEDMAN OUTPOINTS DONLEY. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Oct. 18 —Sailor Friedman. Chicago, outpointed Mickey Donley. Newark, N. J., In a slow eightround bout last night. Friedman weighed 138 pounds and Donley 139 pounds.

FIRST BATTLE OF CITY TEAMS DUE TOMORROW Cathedral and Manual Grid Forces Ready for Tilt at Irwin Field. RIVALRY AT HIGH PITCH The only local high school game of the week has been arranged for tomorrow afternoon, when Cathedral plays Manual at Irwin field at 3 o’clock. This ■ tveek-end will be an open date for all local schools because of the teachers’ convention being held in this city. Just to have something doing to keep the grid fans on edge the Cathedral-Manual scrap was arranged only yesterday. There no doubt but that a rare battle will be witnessed in the lone straggle of the week When two schools from this city get together the rivalry is Intense and real football is the natural result. Coach Feeney is ready to give the Red and White team lots of trouble. Neither team is exactly jubilant over its prospects, for Cathedral has several men on the injured list and Manual ha3 just come out of a very hard game with Louisville Manual. Bear stories are com:mr out of both camps, but doubtless it is bout a 00-50 proposition. Tomorrow's game Is the first of the j intra-citv high school games.
